Let’s delve deeper into the factors that make this midstream energy player an attractive investment option.

TC PipeLines has interest in interstate natural gas pipelines, spreading across roughly 6,300 miles. The pipeline network, connecting principal markets, has the capacity to transport roughly 9.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas every day. Notably, the volumes of natural gas being transported by the partnership’s midstream assets meet roughly 13% of domestic demand for the commodity.

It is to be noted that rising demand for clean energy is leading to higher investments in natural-gas fired power plants, replacing coal units in the United States. The move should support additional natural gas production in the domestic market.

Higher production of the commodity will boost demand for pipeline network. The partnership, with its wide base of midstream energy assets, is well placed to capitalize on the favorable business scenario.
